Psalms:109

Seeker Overlay ON

* Hold not thy peace , O God of my praise , * for they have opened against me the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit . They have spoken to me with a lying tongue . * They have also encompassed me about with words of hatred , and fought against me without a cause . * For my love they are my adversaries , but I [make ] prayer . * And they have rewarded me evil for good , and hatred for my love . * Set thou a wicked man over him , and let an adversary stand at his right hand . * When he is judged , let him come forth guilty , and let his prayer be turned into sin . * Let his days be few , [and ] let another take his office . * Let his sons be fatherless , and his wife a widow . * Let his sons be vagabonds , and beg , and let them seek out of their desolate places . * Let a creditor exact all that he has , and let strangers make spoil of his labor . * Let there be none to extend kindness to him , nor let there be any to have pity on his fatherless sons . * Let his posterity be cut off . In the generation following let their name be blotted out . * Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with LORD , and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out . * Let them be before LORD continually , that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth , * because he did not remember to show kindness , but persecuted the poor and needy man , and the broken in heart , to kill . * Yea , he loved cursing , and it came to him . And he did not delight in blessing , and it was far from him . * He also clothed himself with cursing as with his garment , and it came into his inward parts like water , and like oil into his bones . * Let it be to him as the raiment with which he covers himself , and for the belt with which he is girded continually . * This is the reward of my adversaries from LORD , and of those who speak evil against my soul . * But deal thou with me , O lord LORD , for thy name 's sake . Because thy loving kindness is good , deliver thou me , * for I am poor and needy , and my heart is wounded within me . * I am gone like the shadow when it declines . I am tossed up and down as the locust . * My knees are weak through fasting , and my flesh fails of fatness . * I also have become a reproach to them . When they see me , they shake their head . * Help me , O LORD my God . O save me according to thy loving kindness , * that they may know that this is thy hand , [that ] thou , LORD , have done it . * Let them curse , but bless thou . When they arise , they shall be put to shame , but thy servant shall rejoice . * Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor , and let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe . * I will give great thanks to LORD with my mouth . Yea , I will praise him among the multitude . * For he will stand at the right hand of the needy , to save him from those who judge his soul .
